Did anyone hear about the drowning at Lake Nacimiento over the weekend in the Narows? What happened, and did they find the body?

From KSBY.com:
"The busiest weekend of the summer turned tragic at Lake Nacimiento in San Luis Obispo County.
After a two day search, San Luis Obispo County Sheriff's recovered the body of Jarvis Williamson Monday afternoon. Twenty three year old Williamson was last seen diving into the water near "Jump Rock," which is about a twenty mile boat ride from the docking area.
Visitors say it was hectic on the waters over Labor Day weekend.
"Sunday was absolutely crazy. Boats were cutting us off. People weren't really paying attention to what they were doing," said atascadero resident valerie carreon. "There's usually like one casualty a summer or something but I've never been out here the same time that something has happened like this."
This is the second drowning at Lake Nacimiento this summer. A 22 year old man also drowned there in late July."

We were heading back too in the no wake zone and a ranger boat blew by us, another boat told us that it was closed and to turn around.
Across from the camp ground we saw the Sheriff Dive team boat launch and didnt come back until late around 11:00. We talked to the ranger in the camp ground later that that night and they told us what had happened and they were still looking for the body. At that time, it wasnt clear if it happened from jumping off a rock or the back of a boat.

That's why everyone was in Las Tablas. I had heard rumors of another drowning in Dip Creek, but it was not confirmed.
